Sensei Bob Davies (4th Dan)

Club owner Sensei Bob Davies, former South-West Region champion and proponent of Karate for over four decades opened Torbay Karate Club in Paignton in 1969. He has coached many students from beginner to black belt level and his lessons offer great variety and interest, often including some challenging combinations and emphasising on applied karate for self defence. Bob has trained under Sensei Enoeda, Sensei Yahara, Sensei Tabata, Sensei Tanaka and many other legendary traditional karate masters. Torbay Karate Club is very fortunate to benefit from his vast experience and knowledge.

All Torbay Karate Club instructors are qualified, insured, hold current first aid qualifications and are Enhanced CRB (DBS) checked. A copy of the club’s Child Protection Policy can be downloaded here.
